Chapter 217 Can you encounter strange things when buying fish? (Part 1)

At the end of the new year, the windy and "sandy" weather in Yue Liao finally disappeared, and the sky gradually cleared up.

In the past few days, the New Year's Fair in Yueliao County has been very lively.

All the families within a hundred miles who could afford it came to Yue Liao to attend the market.

It is said that during this period, except for Yanzhou Fucheng, several other counties and cities in Yanzhou take turns to have this kind of excitement.

The days from the 20th to the 25th of the New Year are the busiest time before Yue Liao.

Because starting from November and a half, the Yanzhou Caravan Association will organize Yanzhou merchants of all sizes to hold a New Year's Eve Fair "parade" throughout Yanzhou.

Bringing goods with Chinese New Year flavor from all over the world to one county after another and selling them in turn.

Naturally, Mei Berry and Mei You are indispensable in such a lively time.

“Except for the lack of fresh vegetables, everything else is okay...”

Plumberry and the others walked around in a big circle. The food at the market included dry fruit desserts that were easy to store and transport, as well as various dry goods.

Yanzhou has the most special dried meats from all over the country.

What about mutton jerky, horse meat jerky, and expensive beef jerky.

There are also some dried sea goods, kelp, dried shrimp, dried fish and the like.

However, the busiest place in today's market is the stall selling fresh frozen fish.

It is said that it was caught in a large lake northwest of Yueliao County.

Fresh fish are frozen at low temperatures as soon as they are fished out of the lake, and they are not weighed and sold directly by the fish.

This fish is divided into three piles: large, medium and small. The small ones are no more than the size of a palm and cost ten cents each;

The medium ones are about one foot to two feet, fifty cents apiece;

The rest are all big fish, three hundred coins each, no matter the price.

If it were normal times, many people would be reluctant to buy it, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this frozen fish is a rare fresh meat. People who are used to eating mutton also want to change their taste at this time.

In addition, because they are sold by the piece, fish buyers are also very enthusiastic. They all want to buy each one first, and then use the same money to choose the largest one.

Therefore, Mei Mei and Mei You, who were a little late, had to squeeze in for a long time before reaching the front.

It was at this time that Meiberry happened to see the specific location of the so-called large fish fishing lake in the northwest on the electronic map in her mind.

After reading it, Mei Qian suddenly became excited.

There is only one large lake in the northwest, Mayberry, on the electronic map, and there seems to be a military camp near that lake~

Doesn’t the military camp next door care about fishing?

When Meiberry was wondering how the fresh frozen fish that appeared in the market today was caught, she was stunned when she looked up and saw the faces of several fish sellers wearing woolen felt hats.

Obviously, the other party also sensitively noticed Mayberry's gaze over her.

Suddenly, Meiberry's heart was filled with huge waves!

Oh my god!

Aren't these people "bandits" selling their sheep?!

The guys over there dressed as businessmen didn't recognize Mayberry, but they were a little embarrassed to be stared at by the young lady.

They are selling fish everywhere these days, and others see more fish than them~

Why is there a little lady looking at them so directly?

Could it be...(*/ω＼*)Oh my God!

"What's wrong? How many do you want to buy?"

Meiyou, who was already planning to buy a dozen frozen fish, turned around and saw Meiberry standing there stupidly, very confused.

"Ah, buy, buy, let me see how much I buy."

Meiberry nodded repeatedly, withdrew her gaze, and lowered her head to scan around in front of these fat and strong frozen fish.

If this had happened before, Mei Qiang would have been thinking about whether her mother should cook in an iron pot tonight, and then discuss whether to stick corn tortillas or steam small flower rolls.

But now, Mayberry's head is somewhat mushy.

When those people fell into the water, Meiberry guessed that they were related to Gu Pinglu, and later she checked in the heroine's famous scenes to further confirm their identities.

In addition, there were troops stationed around the lake, and there were no people around.

If the fishing was really carried out, it must have been done by soldiers nearby. Maybe these people came from that military camp.

Thinking of this, Mei Bei watched these people transform into fish merchants, and her mood was extremely complicated.

What are the soldiers at Yanpingguan doing on a daily basis?

Why does it seem like there are so many side jobs?

"Young lady, let me go and wrap this fish for you?"

He San came forward diligently and stared at Mei Berry for several seconds, which startled Mei Berry.

It was probably because Mayberry's face was wrapped so tightly that he didn't recognize it anyway.

But Mayberry already recognized the other party.

This guy has used a knife on himself before!

Meiberry silently took half a step back, casually pointed at the five fish in the middle, and said in a muffled voice: "These."

"Ouch~ There are so many and they are very heavy. I wonder how you are going to get them back, little lady? I can..."

"I'll bring the car over later. You can pack it for me first."

Meiberry interrupted the other party's somewhat affectionate words and silently took a few steps back to keep her distance.

Now of course He San could see Mei Berry's intention to avoid him.

So, He San laughed twice, took the money from Mei Bei, and took the fish Mei Bei picked back and wrapped it.

There was a strong aura of resentment in the back view as he returned.

Mei Bei didn't understand, but it didn't stop her from seeing He San being laughed at by some big men around him.

It was as if he had done something stupid that made people laugh.

Mei Mei said hello to Mei You, who was still picking fish, and then squeezed out of the crowd, went back, hitched the mule boy into a cart and took him out to drive back.

As soon as Meiberry returned to the outside of the fish stall with the mule cart, she felt that the atmosphere around her was somewhat different.

When she squeezed into the crowd again, Mei Berry saw that Mei You was holding the head of a fish, while another person was holding the tail.

Looking at this posture, it is obvious that her sister seems to be attracted to the same fish as others.

Originally, Mei Mei wanted to ask what was going on, but the other party opened her mouth and accused Mei You of not being a first-come, first-serve person and grabbing fish from her.

With such a bad tone, Mei Berry simply stopped asking and stood directly in front of Mei You. After taking a closer look, she realized that the person in front of her was Aunt Ba, the neighbor next door to Mei You's family.

Oh, Mei You seems to have said that this guy likes to say mean words to hurt others.

"Do you have any rules? Who is as arrogant and short-sighted as you when buying things? Didn't you see me buying? If you come up, you will snatch my fish. Who can spoil you, a stinky girl like you?"

"Hey, auntie, you said that my sister robbed you of your fish, do you have any evidence?"

Being questioned like this by Mei Bei, Aunt Ba frowned, not feeling guilty at all. She looked at the people around her and asked, "If you don't believe it, you can ask them if I came first and took it first?"

"

A few people around me actually nodded, saying that this aunt had stayed here longer than Mei You and picked fish earlier than Mei You.

In this regard, Aunt Ba looked even more proud after hearing this, and looked at Mei Bei and the others with even more unreasonable looks.

It seems as if Mei You really did something bad.

Mei Bei turned to look at Mei You, only to see a look of impatience flashing across Mei You's eyebrows.

It's over, her sister is going to be angry.

Just as Meiberry was thinking to herself, the system's check-in task arrived as scheduled——

[Please check in the host for the famous scene "Teaching a Teach a Teach a Bad Minded Neighbor" and reward two clean geese for slaughtering. The time limit is half an hour. If you fail to check in, you will be stewed in an iron pot. 】

Mayberry:......?

Does this system know that she wants to eat fish stewed in an iron pot when she goes home?

As the saying goes, "It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain_(:3"∠)_"
